Unique Mother’s Day Gift Ideas:

Can you believe Mother’s Day is only a few days away? Next weekend is the big day, folks! I’m not gonna lie, I still haven’t ordered my present yet (sorry if you’re reading, mom!) But I plan on shopping for the perfect gift today. If you haven’t picked up a gift for the most important woman in your life yet, now is the time to do so. If you order now, you’ll get it before next weekend. Plus, Sephora is having their big sale from now until May 6th — it’s a great time to pick up the perfect gift for mom, and save a bit of money while doing so!

Sephora Beauty Insider Sale:

 
Do you know what I’ve realized as I’ve gotten older? Beauty products really add up.  That’s why I always try to stock up on my favorites whenever Sephora has one of their Beauty Insider Events. It’s also a great time to try out some new products!

The Sephora Beauty Insider SaleSpring Bonus Event is running from now until May 6th. First things first: you’ll need to register as a beauty insider to shop this sale (which is 100% free, and once you enroll, you’ll earn points for every Sephora purchase you make — I’ve been a member for about four years now!)

Beauty Insiders can get 10% off their entire purchase during the sale w/ code HEYINSIDER. If you’re a VIB Level (aka — if you’ve spent $350 at Sephora in the past calendar year), you’ll get 15% off w/ code HEYVIB during the sale. If you’re the Rouge Level (spending $1000+/year), you’ll get a whopping 20% off your purchase this week HEYROUGE. Pretty cool, huh?

If you want to purchase new hair, makeup, or skincare items for summer, this is the perfect time to stock up. Here are nine of my favorite beauty items that I would recommend buying during this sale, and one thing that’s on my wishlist!

Shop My Dress (On Sale!) 

Guys: I don’t write about sales that often. But, this Shopbop Sale is really good, and I shop it every time it comes around. Behold: the Shopbop Event of the Season Sale.

One of the reasons why I love Shopbop is because of the variety of products they offer: from budget-friendly brands such as Moon River, English Factory, and Wayf, to my mid-high end designer favorites, there’s always a million things that I want to add to my cart at Shopbop. This Shopbop sale is amazing because you get 20% off all orders under $500, and 25% off all orders above $500. So you could totally get 25% off that Tory Burch purse you’ve been eyeing, or those Hunter Boots that have been on your wishlist since forever.

Here are a few items that I already own that are on sale at the moment:

Happy Tuesday, friends: slightly adjusting my post schedule for the next couple of weeks since I’ll be traveling: I will now post on Tuesdays/Thursdays for the next couple of weeks!

It’s the most, wonderful time of the year: the Shopbop Annual Sale! Every year, this sale usually falls the week of my birthday, and I have zero complaints. It’s the perfect time to stock up for spring!

I’mm going to be completely candid: since I gained weight last year, I don’t fit into a lot of the spring basics that I currently own, and will almost be starting from scratch this year. Here are some staples and trendy pieces that are on my radar for this year’s Shopbop Annual Sale!
